I had a bit of a backslide last week.

[shilala]

I bought some cigars.
Following will be pics of some of them. There's a couple hundred more, but I ran out of film. These are boxes I've been waiting to buy for months, mostly stuff I was out of, or very close to being out of.
I saved up the money, but then my tires on my Envoy wouldn't pass inspection. There went my cigar money.
Pics coming up...
:)

I also got my girlfriends's daughter to fix up my big display humi and it looks a lot nicer. I ordered new lights from ebay last night so I can light every shelf.
Once that's done, I should be able to take pics and apply for my Cigar Asylum Certified Completely Insane Certificate and Decoder Ring.

[Emjaysmash]

Dude.


Dude.


THATS SWEEET!
Nice Pick-ups, brother!! :tu

[Doctorossi]

There's a couple hundred more, but I ran out of film.

Shilala, you of all people should know by now- this hobby demands digital cameras. :r

[shilala]

Here's what's there...
El Cobre Torps
Litto Gomez Diez Cubano Colorado Maduro
Litto Gomez Diez Oriental Oscuro
AVO #9 Maduros
Oliva Special G Maduros
Old Henry Maduro Robustos
"Old School" Oliva Blue Band Maduro Oasis and Ovations

I also procured a couple hundred other cigars (at least) from other various sources. It's pretty much filled my everything to capacity and I have quite a mess. I've started filling boxes to make room, a few bombs will definately help. Plus I haven't sent Richard any troop smokes for a little while.

Those LGD Oscuro Orientals, they are heaven sent. Completely out of this world.
The feet are still a little wet, but I fought my way through a couple. Oh, man, are they incredible. In three months they're going to be even better. They'll probably kill me, because I plan to smoke them all in one sitting. :r

[aich75013]

Nice Haul!

[shilala]

Shilala, you of all people should know by now- this hobby demands digital cameras. :r
It beats the battery excuse. :r

[14holestogie]

I really appreciate threads like this. I can show this to the little woman when my couple of boxes show up and say, "See, at least I'm not as bad as this guy." :r

Nice pick-ups, Scott. :tu

[shilala]

I should mention that the LGD's are the best cigars in the whole entire universe.
Now I have to go cc shopping cause I really, really, really need some RS11's. :r

[colimo]

nice pickups scott,
not familiar with some of em, i.e.
El Cobre Torps
Litto Gomez Diez Cubano Colorado Maduro
Litto Gomez Diez Oriental Oscuro
but they look sweet....those oliva blues look tasty:dr

[G G]

[kelmac07]

AWESOME pick-ups Scott!!

:O :O :O :O

[MedicCook]

Scott you are my hero. :tu

[TripleF]

You suck!!!



jk

[Blindjimme]

That's the way I like to see things done. You want them, you go and get them. That's ' Man ' stuff right there! Right on, Scott.:tu


Plenty of time for guilt and remorse later..

[WildBlueSooner]

A bit of a backslide? :r

[kydsid]

Please PM me where you got those LGD Oriental Oscuro's. Have been looking for them forever.

[bowhnter]

Dang, and I got excited when I had three 5 packs come in at once and 60 in a week.

[Starscream]

Nice haul:tu

[shilala]

I just got an email from Tampa Sweethearts.
The maduros are back in stock. I got a bundle of #4's, #280's, and #50's.
They are awesome. Totally.
Got some anejos and woams, too. :r

Been meaning to try some of those.
I've heard good things.

I aspire to have a collection like you someday Scott.:tu

It's not really a collection. I plan to smoke every single one. :D
It's nice to have lots to share, too. :tu

Smokin em all tonight? That seems excessive!

[shilala]

Not tonight, but I'm gonna have one as soon as I leave the house.
Gotta go to the post office and UPS. Can't go till I get done with all my work, and by that time it might be tomorrow at the rate I'm going. :)

[dubnick]

That's one heck of a haul Scott!!!!

Good luck smokin' 'em all

[hsmunoz]

I am a big fan of the Diez, but have not had any of thier maduros . They look like a treat!

nice haul!

[hotreds]

A bit of a backslide? :r

Adopt me please!!!! :ss

Screw that, Adopt ME first!!! I will stand guard at your humi!!! (okay, maybe lean a little on my walker)

:D

[Chris.]

holy crap! NICE!

[Smokin Gator]

Nice haul Scott... I got that same email from Tampa Sweethearts and had to pull the trigger as well. Not nearly like yours though... that was more like pressing the red button in the president's office!!!

[shilala]

I just looked at those pics and got moist.
I've been smoking those Orientals at a breakneck pace. They are incredible.
I burned two today.
I haven't smoked any of the other stuff yet. I'm going to though. :)
Hopefully I'll get some more cigars tomorrow. :r
If it rains, I have to do some serious cigar management. There's cigars everywhere.
I need to get my big humi built. I might just hose it out, drag it in the house, and build it in here when it's raining. At least I can use it for storage for now.

He's getting shell-shocked. I have a few other botls in mind. Just asked for an address a few minutes ago. :)
I think it's supposed to storm all day tomorrow and I think I'll play cigars all day.
I've kind of slowed down on my acquisitions. I only did one box split today.
My "boxes to get list" has shrunk substantially.
It's down to this...

Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Pamaplonas
El Originals Toro Maduros
Cuaba Divinos
El Mejor Espresso
Graycliff Double Espresso
Padilla Habano Artisans
Punch RS11's
Cohiba Maduro Magicos

I won't ever buy the Artisans or the El Mejors cause I'm not buying from CI anymore. Hopefully I can get the Double Espressos somewhere else. The El Mejors, I really don't care.
The Magicos are a pipe dream. I can't imagine paying $350 for a box of cigars. I'm gonna have to hit the lottery. :tu

[MajorCaptSilly]

I gotta get some of those LG's and El Cobre's. Are the LG's more available now?

MCS

[shilala]

MCS
The LG's are tough to come by, and I don't know if anyone else has El Cobre's besides Bestcigarprices.com.
I got all of them there.
I couldn't find them at any better price anywhere. The Orientals are Oscuro 08's. The Cubanos (and the rest of the 08's) are Colorado Maduro.
The 09 LGD's are supposed to come with a whole line of Oscuros, but aren't available yet.
The 09 Oscuro chisel should be completely orgasmic.
Jack Scwartz has them listed, so you can at least look at them.
If the Oscuro chisels ever truly materialize, I'll try a couple first. I know all the 08's are excellent because I've tried them all. I also had an 06 Oscuro Chisel. You never know what the 09's might be like.
Bestcigar has 06 Orientals too, by the way. I don't know if they are oscuro or colorado maduro. I think the 06 Orientals are colorado maduro though. :tu

[G G]

Hopefully I will meet up with Scott friday, I'll take him a few things and blame it on you.:tu

[aich75013]

Graycliff Double Espresso

Someone has these in the WTS section.

Looks like you had one of these Scott.

Nice pickups Scott. :hm you need more RS11s

[shilala]

My backslide continues...
A couple cigar caddy's showed up today. I'm very pleased with them. They're exactly what I needed for my glovebox/emergency smoke situation.
I'll make some beadsticks for in them, and they'll work perfectly. :)
Unbelievably, I still have more stuff on the way. :wo

You are a crazy man Scott.

[Skywalker]

Backslide, frontslide, and sideslide!!! Dang!!!:r

[cort]

Someone needs an Intervention:)

[alley00p]

That's not a "Backslide"... Thats a trip down the slope of the "Black Run" at full speed!!! :D


Nice haul, Scott!! :tu

Yes. Yes you do but they are on a slow boat and won't be here for a week, but they are confirmed as at least a year old. :dr

Hmmm, this could be good information to have...

:ss

[shilala]

Some more stuff showed up today...
A bundle of Tampa Sweetheart #4's, #50's, and #280's. All maduro's.
There a couple Anejo 77's, 46's, 50's, and a couple WOAM's in there, too.
Clearly there must be a ramp at the bottom of this hill. :r

http://home.comcast.net/~shilala/morestuff.jpg

[Chris.]

what are WOAM's?

[kydsid]

Work of Art Maduros - The ones on the far right of the bottom on that pic are Work's of Art Naturals.

[Chris.]

Ohhhhh, thanks!

Nope, they're maduros. I wouldn't waste money of cameroons. No likey. :tu

Why don't you send me a list of cigars you like. Our taste is the same so much that it's scary. Send me a list and then I'll know what not to try.:tu

Hehehe.
Don't try an El Triunfador, and in the name of all the is good and Holy, don't try a tat noella reserva.
The El totally sucks, and the Noella Reserva will make you barf. :r
So far as that goes, I can't smoke anything Pete blends. He's a totally cool guy, and I wish him all the success in the world, but his taste and mine are as far apart as it gets.

Now that I re-read, I'm supposed to send a list of stuff I like. I don't have one.
Someday when my humis are all done, you'll be able to see pics of what I like. :)

[kydsid]

Ahh. I kinda figured that but the pic made them look kinda light to be the maduros. That or all the WOAM's I have are too stankily oily dark. :dr

have you tried the Miami? love those!

[shilala]

have you tried the Miami? love those!
I tried an original blend Miami and it still stands as the worst cigar I ever smoked. It was like a brushfire.
Now that you mentioned it, the noella reserva might have taken over first place. :)
